CenterPoint Energy recognizes National 811 Day as a reminder to contact 811 before digging  

The Company encourages homeowners and professionals to make
a free request before digging to avoid damaging buried utilities 

Evansville — Aug. 10, 2023 – CenterPoint Energy is proud to take part in National 811 Day on Aug. 11 (8/11). This day serves as a reminder for anyone who plans to dig to contact 811 prior to any digging project to have underground utility lines marked.

“On Aug. 11 and throughout the year, we remind homeowners and professional contractors to use the free 811 service before digging to reduce the risk of striking an underground utility line,” said Chasta Martin, Vice President, Field Services for CenterPoint Energy. “Calling 811 or visiting Call811.com is the only way to know which utilities are buried in your area so that you can dig safely and keep your community safe and connected.” 

Every few minutes, an underground utility line is damaged because someone began digging without first contacting 811.  Customers should contact 811 to request that local utility companies mark the approximate location of buried electric, natural gas, water, telecommunications, and cable lines in the designated project space and minimize the risk of injury or disruption of utility service.

Every digging project, no matter how large or small, requires contacting 811 by phone or online to notify utility providers of planned digging and to allow for marking of underground utilities before digging.  Striking a single line can cause repair costs, inconvenient service outages and fines, severe injuries and even death. 

The depth of utility lines can vary for several reasons, such as erosion, previous digging projects and uneven surfaces. Even when digging only a few inches or digging in a location that’s previously been marked, the risk of striking an underground utility line still exists. Some examples of digging projects that require a free 811 request at least a few days before breaking ground include, installing a mailbox, building a deck, planting a tree and laying a patio.

Attorney General Todd Rokita fights for Hoosier farmers and food consumers

Congress must prevent California from imposing radical agenda onto Indiana and other states

Attorney General Todd Rokita this week called on Congress to enact legislation preventing states such as California from dictating rules to farmers and ranchers in Indiana.

“California’s got every right to regulate agricultural practices within its own borders,” Attorney General Rokita said. “But it shouldn’t have the authority to impose restrictions on farmers here in Indiana. If the U.S. Supreme Court doesn’t recognize this basic reality, then Congress needs to take action.”

In a letter sent Wednesday to congressional leaders, Attorney General Rokita and other attorneys general call for passage of the Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression (EATS) Act — H.R.4417 in the U.S. House and S.2019 in the U.S. Senate.

In May, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a California law that outlaws the sale of pork originating from sows housed in less than 24 square feet — even if such pork comes from out-of-state producers.

Attorney General Rokita led a 26-state coalition in that case supporting the National Pork Producers Council and other petitioners contesting the California law.

“This law hurts Hoosier hog farmers by forcing them to change their livestock systems in order to sell to California markets,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Beyond that, it also hurts Indiana families everywhere by increasing the costs of bacon and ham at grocery stores.”

Some small- and medium-sized pork producers could be forced to go out of business. California buys about 13 percent of the nation’s pork.

Extending beyond the pork industry, the Supreme Court’s decision paves the way for California and other states to similarly impose their will pertaining to other types of livestock production — and even other types of industries altogether.

On a philosophical level, Attorney General Rokita said, the court’s decision flies in the face of American federalism and free enterprise.

In the letter to congressional leaders, Attorney General Rokita and the other attorneys general noted that U.S. farmers already follow prudent techniques in raising livestock.

“American farmers and ranchers raise massive amounts of animal protein as affordably and humanely as possible,” the letter states. “American farmers’ techniques have developed over generations to constitute global best practices. No other country raises anywhere near as much delicious and high-quality pork.”

The letter is attached.

This case is not the only one in which Attorney General Rokita has stood strongly for the interests and liberties of Hoosier farmers. Among other things, he has led efforts to curtail federal bureaucrats from riding roughshod over farmers’ property rights through such power grabs as the EPA’s expansion of its own powers under the Water of the United States rule. In this scenario, the EPA has used a rule intended to apply to navigable waters as a blunt instrument with which to smash property rights anytime a ditch crossed a land parcel or heavy rains caused flooding.

Planned Parenthood Leaders Emphasize Abortion Services Have Now Stopped In Indiana,

Planned Parenthood Leaders Emphasize Abortion Services Have Now Stopped In Indiana

By Marilyn Odendahl, The Indiana Citizen

AUGUST 11, 2023

Speaking at the Planned Parenthood facility in Indianapolis Tuesday morning, the organization’s leader and physicians emphasized while abortion services have now stopped in the state of Indiana, the clinic is open and continuing to offer a range of medical care, including assisting patients in traveling to a state where abortion remains legal.

“No matter what extremists are doing to attack your right and your choices about your own bodies, Planned Parenthood will be here for you now more than ever,” Rebecca Gibron, CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawai’i, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky, Inc., said during an early morning press conference. “Planned Parenthood health care centers in Indiana are here with open doors, and we’ll be here tomorrow and every single day after.”

Indiana’s near-total abortion ban was given the green light following a June 30 ruling by the Indiana Supreme Court which vacated a preliminary injunction that had been blocking the new law. Planned Parenthood and others filed a petition for a rehearing Monday, asking the justices to impose another preliminary injunction while the trial court reviews the constitutionality of the law’s limited exception for the health of the mother.

The Indiana General Assembly passed the new abortion statute, Senate Enrolled Act 1, during a special session last summer, weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade which had given women the right to abortion care. S.E.A. 1 allows an abortion if the woman’s health is in danger if the fetus has a lethal anomaly or if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest.

Although Gov. Eric Holcomb signed the law in August 2022, the abortion restrictions were put on hold in September. The Monroe County Circuit Court granted a preliminary injunction after finding the new prohibitions violated the Indiana Constitution’s guarantee of liberty.

As abortion was banned in other states, including Kentucky, Planned Parenthood has recorded a 25% increase in out-of-state patients coming to Indiana for care over the past year.

Katie McHugh, an OB/GYN at Planned Parenthood, said the clinic will now tell Hoosier women they have to leave the state to obtain an abortion and will help arrange travel and care in those other states.

“Abortion is here to stay and so is abortion care,” McHugh said. “We are here to help the people in Indiana access the health care that they need, and we invite the community to join us. We challenge all Hoosiers to stand up against this oppression and to reclaim the rights to control our bodies and our futures.”

Indiana Right to Life called on the Indiana Supreme Court to clarify the status of the new abortion law, saying for thousands of unborn babies, it is a life and death issue.

“While we are pleased that some Indiana abortion businesses, at least, indicate that they are ceasing operations today, the status of the new Indiana law remains unclear,” Mike Fichter, president and CEO of Indiana Right to Life, said in a video statement released Tuesday. “We are hopeful that the Indiana Supreme Court quickly affirms that the new law is in effect, ending 95% of abortions in our state.”

 ‘Race to the top

McHugh said Planned Parenthood has already seen people become desperate since S.E.A. 1 was signed into law even though it was not being enforced. Patients have attempted to end their pregnancies “through dangerous means” and assault survivors have struggled to meet the deadline imposed by the new abortion law to terminate a pregnancy.

With the ban now cleared to take effect, McHugh said the impact will spread beyond pregnant women and be felt by the entire state. The community’s health will suffer as the people who are pregnant cannot work and are busy taking care of their families that expanded before they were ready to provide for more children.

In addition, both McHugh and Gibron expect the state’s maternal mortality rates to increase as people “are forced to carry pregnancies” they do not want or that put their health and life at risk. They said the state’s maternal mortality rate has increased 58% in the last three years.

“We are third in the nation right now for maternal mortality,” McHugh said. “I fear that we will be in a race to the top with the other states that are banning abortion access.”

While Planned Parenthood is adjusting to the new restrictions, Gibron said the organization would continue its effort to overturn the state’s abortion law.

“We will fight every lawsuit and every ban as far as we can take it in the state of Indiana,” Gibron said. “Patients deserve access to vital reproductive health care in their home state. It is unconscionable to think that patients have to leave their community, their home, and their state to access basic health care. So yes, we will continue to fight as far as we can fight every battle that needs to be fought on this front in the state of Indiana.”

Crossing state lines

Planned Parenthood’s pledge to help patients travel to another state for an abortion comes as Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita and 18 other attorneys general are trying to stop a proposed federal rule that seeks to strengthen reproductive health care privacy. Under the potential new rule, government officials would be restricted from reviewing health information for an investigation against any individual who seeks, obtains, provides or facilitates lawful reproductive health care.

Rokita and the other attorneys general wrote a letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, asserting the proposed new rule would upset a “careful, decades-old balance” between patient privacy and the state’s need to protect public health, safety, and welfare.

“The proposed rule would interfere with States’ ability to obtain evidence that could reveal a violation of their laws,” the letter stated. “This intrudes on core state authority.”

Asked if Planned Parenthood was concerned about any repercussions from the Indiana Attorney General for assisting patients with out-of-state care, Gibron replied, “Absolutely not.”

She then added the clinic would protect patient privacy.

“What I want to make crystal clear is under no circumstances will we turn over any kind of patient data,” Gibron said. “Your records, your medical information is private and protected and confidential. And it will remain that way.”

The Indiana Attorney General’s office countered Gibron’s comment by saying the state’s top lawyer is not seeking more access but just wants the current rule to stay in place.

“Once again, Planned Parenthood is seeking to take advantage of another 15 minutes of fame,” Kelly Stevenson, a spokesperson for the attorney general’s office, said in an emailed statement. “We are not asking for any patient records. We are saying the existing law should stay in place, keeping intact the law enforcement authority that states have had for decades.”

The attorney general’s office highlighted its case against Caitlin Bernard, an OB/GYN who provides abortions, as proof it respects patient privacy. Rokita’s team filed a complaint against Bernard for relaying to the media she provided an abortion on a 10-year-old Ohio rape victim.

“In fact,” Stevenson continued, “our office has always defended patient privacy. As you know, the Medical Licensing Board found Caitlin Bernard liable for violating state and federal patient privacy law on three separate counts, plus issued a formal letter of reprimand. We will argue just as vehemently for any other patient whose privacy is violated by their doctor.”

Gibron called Bernard “a hero” for the care she provided to the 10-year-old and said Rokita’s effort to politicize the incident for his own gain “was despicable.”

“We will continue to support Dr. Bernard as we always have,” Gibron said. “And if the AG decides he wants to do something else and come after any other physicians that work with Planned Parenthood, he will be met with the full force and weight of our legal team and our support behind our providers.”

UE holds Groundbreaking Ceremony for Lincoln Commons

EVANSVILLE, IND. (08/10/2023) The University of Evansville (UE) on Thursday held a groundbreaking ceremony for a new student housing apartment complex, Lincoln Commons. Demolition of the site originally began in November 2022, and foundation work started in March.

When completed, the four-story building located on campus at the corner of Weinbach Avenue and Lincoln Avenue will house approximately 123 upperclassman students.

All four levels will include a total of 55 units with a mix of one, two, and four-bedroom options. Each apartment will include a full kitchen with appliances, washer and dryer, full size beds, couches, chairs, and desks.

The first level of Lincoln Commons will feature an approximately 3,500 square foot restaurant with outdoor patio. An 87 spaced parking lot will also be developed across the street, just south of Lincoln Avenue.

“Today marks a significant milestone in the continued growth and development of the University of Evansville. With its prime location at the corner of Weinbach Avenue and Lincoln Avenue, we are excited that Lincoln Commons will offer a modern and comfortable home for over 100 upperclassman students,” said University President, Christopher Pietruszkiewicz. “I look forward to the day when we welcome our students to their new home at Lincoln Commons, and witness firsthand the positive impact it will have on their personal and academic growth.”

The project is expected to be completed by August 2024 just in time for the start of the academic year. To learn more, visit evansville.edu/lincolncommons.

Gov. Beshear Marks 11th Straight Month With Revenues Over $1 Billion

Team Kentucky Update highlights good economic development news, an update on the Mountain Parkway Expansion, sports betting, and more

FRANKFORT, Ky. (Aug. 10, 2023) – Today, Gov. Andy Beshear celebrated continued economic strength in the commonwealth as General Fund receipts for July 2023 totaled $1.1 billion, marking the 11th straight month with revenues over $1 billion.

The Governor said this budget surplus represents a 7.1% increase compared with July 2022 receipts despite the 10% reduction in the individual income tax rate. Kentucky’s economic strength is the result of more jobs, higher wages and salaries, growth in sales revenues and continued business profits.

“We are being fiscally responsible, and we are keeping our economy booming,” said Gov. Beshear. “We are going to keep working to make sure prosperity reaches every corner of the commonwealth.”

The Governor also shared good economic news and updated Kentuckians on tourism, school resource officers (SROs), sports betting, the Mountain Parkway Expansion, the Brent Spence Bridge project and Eastern Kentucky flood recovery. The Governor also paid tribute to United States Air Force Veteran and vice-chairman of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission Frank Jones Jr. and named the Breathitt County Library team as this week’s Team Kentucky All-Stars.

Economic Development
On Tuesday, Gov. Beshear joined business owners and state tourism leaders at Lexington’s Crank & Boom Craft Ice Cream in the city’s Distillery District to announce that 2022 was the best year on record for Kentucky tourism, with $12.9 billion generated in economic impact and 91,668 jobs created. In 2022, 75.9 million travelers visited Kentucky, spending $8.9 billion across the commonwealth, surpassing pre-pandemic volumes, according to a study by Tourism Economics. The Governor said that more than $937 million in state and local taxes were generated through tourism, equating to $536 in tax savings for every Kentucky household.

Also on Tuesday, the Governor congratulated Nucor Corp. on its new power purchase agreement with NextEra Energy Resources LLC. Nucor will receive 250 megawatts of renewable energy from Sebree Solar LLC, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources in Henderson County. Sebree Solar is an innovative two-phase project that will have a capacity of up to 400 megawatts of American-produced solar energy.

On Wednesday, the Governor joined BlueOval SK executives to tour the BlueOval SK Battery Park in Glendale. The second battery plant has started to take shape and hourly employee hiring has begun for the 5,000 jobs being created at the two plants.

The Governor also highlighted his administration’s continued investment in workforce training initiatives, as he announced nearly $2 million in funds and credits to assist the training of nearly 7,000 Kentucky workers. The approvals were part of the first Bluegrass State Skills Corporation meeting of fiscal year 2024.

Kentucky Schools Employ Record Number of School Resource Officers
As Kentucky families begin the new school year, Gov. Beshear previewed the annual report from the Office of the State School Security Marshal.

The Governor said that the report will show that there are 685 SROs employed by Kentucky public schools, the most in state history. The report will also show that 99% of schools are in compliance with statutorily mandated access control requirements. Additionally, since the passage of the School Safety and Resiliency Act in 2019, the number of full-time school resource officers has increased by 66%.

The Governor said that since the beginning of last school year alone, there has been a 33% increase in schools with a full-time SRO on campus, and the number is expected to continue to rise during the school year.

“This report looks encouraging. We will always have more work to do, but we have made incredible strides in improving school safety,” said Gov. Beshear. “As a dad of children in public schools, I am truly grateful for the work that State School Security Marshal Ben Wilcox and his team do every day.”

“Kentucky is a leader in school safety,” said State School Security Marshal Ben Wilcox. “We have and will continue to work directly with the Kentucky Center for School Safety to get our schools where they need to be. Thank you to the Governor for your support. I’d also like to thank all the law enforcement and SROs working today and every day to protect our students.”

Sports Betting
The Governor provided Kentuckians with an update on sports betting in the commonwealth. The Governor said that the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (KHRC) has received applications from seven of the state’s racetracks wishing to be licensed for sports wagering. The Governor also said that seven service providers have applied for a license for mobile applications. To see a full list of applicants, see the full release.

Contractor Selected To Complete Final Section of Mountain Parkway Expansion
On Tuesday, Gov. Beshear joined state transportation officials, local leaders and company executives to announce the design-build partner for the final stretch – Salyersville to Prestonsburg – of the Mountain Parkway extension. Bizzack Construction Co. has been selected as the design-build contractor that will deliver the final section of the long-awaited project.

The Governor has made expansion and extension of the Mountain Parkway a top transportation priority of his administration, and this announcement marks another major step forward in the project. To learn more, see the full release.

Update on Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project
Two weeks ago, Gov. Beshear joined Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine to announce that Walsh/Kokosing has been awarded the progressive design-build contract for the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project, marking a major step forward in the construction process.

Today, the Governor announced that the bi-state project team is hosting two public open houses later this month. The first open house will be Aug. 23, 4 to 7 p.m., at the Radisson Hotel in Covington. The second open house will be the following day, Aug. 24, 4 to 7 p.m., at Longworth Hall in Cincinnati. The Governor encouraged anyone who is interested to stop by and browse exhibits, review project information, talk one-on-one with members of the project team and provide comments.

“This project is going to bring jobs, opportunity and transform travel and commerce on I-71 and I-75,” said Gov. Beshear. “We are getting a project done that has only been dreamed about for decades. There’s a lot of excitement and anticipation surrounding this project and these open houses are a great way to help the public track our progress.”

Eastern Kentucky Flood Update
Gov. Beshear provided an update on recovery and rebuilding efforts in Eastern Kentucky. Currently, 71 families are housed in travel trailers, and 311 households have transitioned out of the Commonwealth Sheltering Program in Eastern Kentucky.

As of last week, FEMA has approved $1.2 million to help Floyd County homeowners move to higher ground. FEMA also approved $5.6 million for debris removal in Mayfield after the 2021 tornadoes in Western Kentucky.

The Governor also provided an update on the $212.7 million EKSAFE fund established when the Governor called the General Assembly into a special session in August 2022.

“The $65 million portion of that fund designated to help counties, cities, utilities and nonprofits recover has been almost entirely expended,” said Gov. Beshear. “I had originally asked for $125 million for this portion of the fund, and now this portion is running low, and we need to replenish it. The needs are still very significant. Counties that were impacted cannot thrive without additional funding. At the beginning of the next session of the General Assembly, I will be recommending additional funding and will ask that they put an emergency clause on it so it can be opened up immediately.”

Tribute to United States Air Force Veteran Frank Jones Jr.
Gov. Beshear paid tribute to Air Force Veteran Frank Jones Jr., who passed this week. Jones was a leader in the thoroughbred industry and also served as vice-chairman of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission.

“Put simply, Frank was making a difference. He was an award-winning leader, committed to helping those within this essential Kentucky industry live better lives. I was proud to call him a friend,” said Gov. Beshear. “Frank will be missed. And my prayers are with his family, friends and the entire thoroughbred industry. I think we all know Frank’s legacy will live on.”

Team Kentucky All-Stars
Gov. Beshear recognized the Breathitt County Public Library team as this week’s Team Kentucky All-Stars.

Following last year’s deadly flooding in Eastern Kentucky, the Breathitt County Public Library opened its doors for Kentuckians to shelter. It helped Breathitt County residents research and find replacement documents such as birth and marriage certificates so they could complete FEMA claims. The library provided childcare and activities for children while their parents and caregivers applied for aid, and so much more.

Earlier this month, the Breathitt County Public Library was awarded the Library Journal and Gale’s inaugural Defying the Odds Award for their heroic efforts, receiving a $10,000 award.

“This team truly did defy the odds and I have no doubt their efforts helped so many of our Eastern Kentucky families get back on their feet so they could start recovering and rebuilding,” said Gov. Beshear. “Congratulations to the team at the Breathitt County Public Library. You truly are Team Kentucky All-Stars.”

Holdgrafer leads Otters to shutout of ThunderBolts

0
Crestwood, Ill. – Tim Holdgrafer pitched eight shutout innings as the Evansville Otters dominated the Windy City ThunderBolts in a 7-0 win Thursday night at Ozinga Field.

Holdgrafer struck out a season-high 10 batters in his fourth eight inning shutout performance of the season. Evansville plated six runs in the second inning to take a big early lead.

Evansville’s ace pitcher Holdgrafer allowed just six baserunners, all reaching on singles. He did not walk a batter and worked three in-order innings including 11 straight batters retired over a three inning stretch.

Noah Myers gave the Otters their first lead of the series on the very first at-bat of the game, blasting a leadoff home run 400 feet off the top of the Ozinga Field scoreboard.

The Otters then blew the game open with a six run second inning on six hits.

Jomar Reyes opened with a basehit and Kona Quiggle batted him home with a triple off the right field wall. Quiggle then scored on a sacrifice fly.

Austin Bost continued the inning with a double and Bryan Rosario notched a single. Myers poked a base hit through the left side to score Bost.

Ethan Skender applied the exclamation mark with a three-run home run to left for a 7-0 Evansville lead.

Kevin Davis pitched a perfect ninth inning completing the Otters’ eighth shutout of the season- second most in the league.

Myers hit his 13th home run of the season and fourth leadoff blast. Reyes added a two-hit day and Skender advanced his on-base streak to 16 games.

Holdgrafer earned his eighth win of the season – tied for third most in the league. His 2.63 ERA is sixth best in the Frontier League.

The Otters return home to face the Washington Wild Things this weekend. Friday is Breast Cancer Awareness Night with a jersey auction and post game fireworks. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 PM CT from Bosse Field.
